delishpot: With this your comment ehn, you are worse than a zombie. In your own case, you died and Never woke up. Being satisfied with the fact that APC the present government doesn't know who built that shit. So a Govt can proudly beat its chest and say it doesn't know who is doing such a project withing the state capital for that matter. Chai!!!!! the youth of today have made Nigeria a shit hole. What hope does Naija have when it's future leaders can not even thi k straight. Nigeria sorry.
Read the news or just the title again. Why are you confusing APC (party) with the FG? You are dumb er than I thought.
ItzBIM: The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has said that there is no rational Nigerian who would willingly cast vote for the two major parties APC and PDP in the imminent elections.
He stated this in a chat with media while making references to the past years of waste and stagnation under the watchful eyes of the two parties, saying they are unrepentant and mastermind the country’s political and economic doldrums. How we plan to mechanize agric sector – Osinbajo “Every trick in the political world has been played and outplayed by these political class. Nobody is carried away by money anymore. Nobody is swayed by rented crowd out there, with silent majority making decision to vote their conscience this time. If the elections would be free and fair, there would be no rational human being who will vote for the two major parties this time and what that means is that, we have the brightest chance in AAC,” he said. On the premise of their bad antecedents, Sowore pointed,“I understand there is a lot of anxiety and despondency. Many people are actually depressed about the country. I mean– clinically depressed. That’s the truth, but, that is exactly why things must change because it is either we give in or brace ourselves up for a struggle like this in providing the liberation that we need. And the reason this must happen is because we have nowhere else to go.
For those of us who are outside the country, we have seen other parts of the world and found out there is nothing as good as having a country that works and you come back so much energized considering you know that only less than one percent of the population is holding the country to ransom. “If you can break through from them, you have a country and you will be happy in it and be proud that you did something for the next generation. You know that when we look at the process, we blame our parents and when I do so, I do so with some level of bitterness. I wonder how my children would feel to know that I could do something different but did nothing about the situation. What if I did and it didn’t work? Maybe, they will be proud of me and others could be happy as well. That’s part of it, better to try than not trying at all,” he added. While urging the citizens to brace up, Sowore emphasized the need to vote for conscience rather than allow votes to be swayed by pecuniary gains and transient gratifications that have been consistently used to bait the electorates. Re-elect Okowa for equity in Delta- Ereyitomi, Okorodudu He expressed optimism about his victory at the polls, observing that a silent majority amongst the electorates who have awakened to the call for self-liberation and are poised not to be deceived by stomach infrastructure offered by desperate politicians during electioneering campaigns would ensure his emergence “I am worried that the opportunity that we have is not being adequately utilized especially when you look at the electoral map and see that the highest number of eligible voters are young people. And that they could just take a snap decision to vote for one person that would bring an end to the very oppressive and destructive guise of the ruling class.” He further stated, “The disruption has been done in the last nine months. I made a pronouncement in one of the first town hall meetings that, since I have disrupted the media I was going to disrupt the political space and, you can count the number of things that have happened since we started. “First, was that we wanted to demystify all the very powerful criminal institutions in politics and we have done that. We have demystified the power of money, the notion that Nigeria is complex and vague, the notion of religion and ethnicity in the sense that, we have been able to travel round the country, get wide acceptance, under the same political party, young people from across all different ethnic groups and religious beliefs. Nobody is thinking ethnicity and everybody is thinking humanity till now. We have disrupted the political process to the point that we are forcing conversations that ordinarily don’t happen. “We created one of the most popular political parties in Nigeria today, AAC and it’s just six months old. So, a number of theories have been disrupted and the disruption process is completed as we wait for people’s mandate in the election,” Sowore concludes.
Chikiletta: This afternoon, Reno Omokri shared a video of people alledgely shouting "ole" at the convoy of President Buhari but it turns out to be fake as it was edited.
Deepthoughts: If that's your own idea of leaving no stone unturned then you are dubious n your ways are crookish,you have no right to accuse any other person of wrong doing.its no wonder you are a Tinubu desciple.but come the 16th we shall see,I hope you are not one of Apc's recruited thugs.
princemillla: Smh! This was how buhari was defeating Gej back then and finaly won.
Now Atiku is winning on all this same platforms. Don't let's us forget that all these online polls, nairaland likes and shares are representative of human whether in Nigeria or outside whether with pvc or not. This goes to shows people are truly tired of buhari.
We were many that supported buhari back then In 2015 based on Gej mismanagement. But I am shocked at those who are still supporting buhari. It means many are supporting him in true sense while some are paid agents.
The question am asking is, can you employ buhari to manage your company Let's shun politics of sentiment and tribalism. Apc and pdp doesn't deserve our vote this year.
Best of luck to whoever wins.
Cest fini
Those supporting Buhari are the ones that can think for themselves. People that know he's not a magician that will suddenly turn everything around within 3yrs but they spoil in their 16yrs of reign.
They are those that will not go back to their vomit.
myboy2111: Video: The Moment Crowd Overpowered Securities at the Gate of the Stadium of Teslim Balogun Stadium to gain entrance Crowd is something here
Just got inside Stadium ...filled to capacity. The campaign is yet to start
teebaxy: Atiku, my PVC is ready....I'd go out and vote ...whether my vote count or not ...I must vote for Atiku ....mind you ,I'm a full blooded yoruba
Bridget95: Baba, If you know how much APC have dragged Nigeria deep in debt,you will realize how how pretty that lite rail project is.if you tablate the number of Nigerians both soldiers or not dying due to insecurity,you will reverse you statement.
You still have not given me a sane reason.
Tell me me during PDP 16yrs of reign when Nigeria was not in debt. This insurgency started not today but from PDP admin.
nextstep: I'd rather you vote for Sowore or Durotoye, but I'll give you several in favor of Atiku:
1. 1984 was the only time in my life I had to queue as a young boy for essential food supplies, because of Buhari's policies. So when things got hard in 2015 and 2016, I wondered if we were going to reach that stage again. I'd vote for a different person from the guy who has, TWICE, visited hardship upon his country. The excuse of "we entered recession both times" is too convenient, and if you're superstitious, shows PMB is bad luck.
2. Obasanjo and Atiku (and the two successor PDP presidents) expanded the economy from 160 Billion in 1999, to 1089 Billion USD in 2015, just over 15 years. Let me reiterate: under the same people being abused today, they increased the size of our economy nearly 7 fold in 15 years. Not doubled, 7x. They met no jobs, no mobile network, little internet, banking that did not reach most people, no democracy or free speech. Conversely Buhari's years have been marked by contraction.
3. I don't need anybody to tell me that 1999-2015 have been some of the best years of Nigeria in recent memory (I was not around during the boom years of 1970s). From 1999, things were happening, places were popping, opportunities were growing, startups were proliferating, and job numbers were growing. There was a growing sense of hope, pride, and self-actualization in Nigerians that had been hampered since 1983. We were on the verge of becoming the #19 largest economy (from around #65in 1999), in just 15 years (I'm one of the editors on the wiki for Nigeria's economy). We had just stopped importing cement (and will soon stop importing petrol), thanks NOT to Buhari, but to hardworking Nigerians. Again, our GDP (PPP) rocketed from about 160 Billion in 1999 to 1089 Billion in 2015, where it has mostly stagnated since then. Imagine how much we must have grown in comparison to other countries in just 15 years. With that momentum being one of the top 10 economies in 15 years was within sight. However we've already fallen to #23 during Buhari's time and will likely fall to #30 or worse if we give him another 4 years.
4. Atiku has energy, health, connections to the national and international business communities, and a proven track record of running successful companies... things we need to move the country forward. Buhari has a track record of disobeying orders, removing his boss via coup, autocracy, insensitivity, lack of vision for the big picture... and finally, incompetence at managing complex economies. He's likely to spend a significant portion of a second term abroad for health reasons... is it from hospital bed or London he will be doing his one-sided fight against corruption?
Please, vote for somebody who will expand the economy so that officials don't have to steal.
